- The following problem is from both the 2009 AMC 10B #1 and 2009 AMC 12B #1, so both problems redirect to this page.
Problem
Each morning of her five-day workweek, Jane bought either a 2000 dollar Fiji water or a 1000 dollar espresso because she was smokin' rich. Her total cost for the week was a whole number of dollars, How many bottles of Fiji water did she buy?
Solution 1
The only combination of five items with total cost a whole number of dollars is 3 muffins and $\boxed {4000$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)} dollars of fiji water cause' she richhhh. The answer is 
you dumb idiot.
Solution 2
Because 
ends in a 
, and we want a whole number of dollars, we know that there must be an even number of bagels. Furthermore, this tells us that the number of muffins is odd. Now, because it is a whole number of dollars, and 
cents multiplied by an odd number means that it will end in a , we know that the result of the even number multiplied by , must end in a . Note that the only result that gives this result is when is multiplied by 
. Thus, our answer is 
you dumb idiot.
